4 HVAC Issues You Should Never Repair Yourself

There are things you can do to help keep your HVAC system efficient, such as regularly replacing filters and clearing out the area around the outdoor unit. However, you must contact a reputable HVAC contractor when your equipment malfunctions. Attempting to do the repairs yourself might do more harm than good to your heating and cooling system. 

HVAC Issues

Experts strongly encourage leaving these four HVAC issues to experienced professionals. 

1. Refrigerant Leaks

Your HVAC system uses refrigerant to deliver conditioned air to your home. A refrigerant leak can affect your equipment’s performance and make indoor spaces uncomfortable. It’s never a good idea to replace this substance yourself because it’s toxic. For this reason, skilled and trained technicians should handle refrigerant. 

2. Electrical Issues

Various HVAC components run on high-voltage electricity, including capacitors, transformers, circuit boards, motors and thermostats. That’s why untrained individuals should not attempt to repair or troubleshoot electrical parts themselves. For your safety, leave all electrical-related jobs to experts. At Efficient Systems, Inc., we offer superior residential heating and cooling services.

3. Odd Noises

Does your HVAC system produce strange noises while it’s running? Your unit could make weird sounds due to loose or malfunctioning components. Professionals could identify what’s causing the issue and permanently fix it. On the other hand, DIY repairs could cause further damage to the unit. 

4. Strange Odor

There’s definitely an issue with your HVAC system if it emits poor odor whenever it’s operating. A burned-out wire could be causing the problem. It’s also possible that your ductwork is dirty or has mold. Have a reliable technician address the issue immediately to keep your living space safe.
